Uses

A simple tie, the Griffiths Gnat imitates an adult midge and is useful during midge hatches. While trout feed primarily on pupa during a midge hatch, they are may also be receptive to a well-presented Griffiths.

For reasons I don't understand, I have found this fly's effectiveness improves with altitude. So whenever I venture to a mountain lakes in August or September, I make sure I have a supply of Griffiths Gnats to tie on for those twilight hatches when trout dimple the surface of the lake. The pattern is also useful in rivers.
